In my book it's making research easier, if you are talking about research papers. If teachers required complete bibliographies, and checked them then technology would allow for better papers.

Only because teachers aren't using technology to make cheating harder. For instance I would systematically compare files to determine the level of similarity on a binary level apart from judging the basic appearance. I also think it's fair to generate unique tests and answer sheets systematically. In terms of essays, I suppose a phrase-checker might spot similarities. Usually those who cheat don't take the trouble to make many alterations to the original.
Cheating often only achieves shortterm results. I realize some folks can talk their way into high-profile jobs. But keeping that job is a separate issue. It depends on the type of job of course. Really it's fine if people want to cheat their way through school and eventually get fired and non-employable in the future. That's how natural selection works, and eventually it makes more jobs available to those who actually learn the material.

i agree with 'Simplicity', though he does not sound simple! i guess what i am refering to would be our kids, in school, with the internet, camera phones and what have they, it is so easy to cheat and cheat themselves at that.
